Victorians Near Branch Brook Park
Roseville's roofs split between older Victorians and the multi-family houses built around them. Lower Roseville has Victorian and colonial homes near Branch Brook Park, and sources put the neighborhood in North Newark even when they disagree about the ward line. On the older houses, steep roofs with dormers and valleys collect water in complicated places. On the two- and three-families, it's the familiar flat-roof story: tired seams, edges and drains.
The Roofs in Roseville
The older houses here often carry several generations of roof repairs, and some still have built-in gutters hidden in the cornice. The multi-family houses tend to have flat roofs re-covered over older layers, which is worth knowing before planning a replacement.
